Hello everyone. I have a rather odd question in regards to the EF 70-200 f2.8 (non IS) distance scale. I just purchased this lens and noticed that the distance scale window is not flush across and was just wondering if this is normal? Its flush on the AF-switch side of the lens, and popping up on the other side. Since I've never noticed this on any of my other lenses I wasn't sure if this is normal or not for this lens?
Here are two quick pics to show (I've never linked photos on here so hopefully my image host works).
The popping up side:
![]() | Byte size: ZERO | Content warning: NOT AN IMAGE |
The normal side (flush).
